Adventures of a Dwarf Priest

I started off this tonight with a bit of questing in the grizzly hills.  I need to finish up there so I can move on to another!  I was in LFG looking for one of the dungeons my remaining elders are in.

So I get a tell invited to a Nexus run, we ended up with a Pally Tank, Boomkin, Hunter, and a fairly new but decent DK.  Based on his guild rank “alt” I’d say he was an alt, and a recent 80   He kept just about the tank in DPS, and the tank was well geared so I was pleased   I managed not to take a screenshot during the Nexus run but it went smoothly.  They even managed to get achievement though I could have swore the hunter never moved.  The hunter was our best DPS most of the time when the Boomkin right behind him her.

After that everyone was so pleased with how smooth it went, and how fast we did it we decided to do something else.  Having got my elder from the Nexus now I suggested Azjol-Nerub next.  So we all agreed and headed there.  There was much talk about how hard the first boss is, and the second boss, and the last boss, but everything went easy.  Apparently none of them have done it with a good group.  Up to this point we have had no wipes, or even deaths.

After that everyone wanted to do another instance.  I was shooting for Drak or HoS for another elder, but the Boomkin really wanted to do HoL.  It was the Heroic Daily, and I happen to have the regular daily for it as well.  Eventually I agreed and we went there.  When we got to the first boss I asked if anyone needed the achievement, the tank was really scared about trying it I told him he would be fine, and the Boomkin really wanted a go at it.  Of course I had no problem with it, I knew he was a good enough tank and we downed him and everyone got the achievement.

We had our first wipe through the elementals that explode.  I was sitting there saying don’t kill them all at once, I went up the stairs and some how managed to agro the elementals at the top.  We wiped of course, was all my fault and I don’t count that wipe technically They were all dreading Loken, of course I don’t anymore now that I can heal through the damage.  He is easy if you can just stand and DPS him.  It was even easier to do with the hunters nature resists.  I told them they would get the achievement and they all did of course.  It was so cake with the nature resist not even close

After that we decided to do HoS.  The boomkin was off geming some of the stuff he she got in the other runs and I was running around gathering the mats to build my Flying Carpet!  I made it just before the summoned me and learned it when I was by the stone.  I flew around on it a bit before going in and it is nifty.  I didn’t realize that they made it a real mount in 3.08 I thought that had to wait for 3.1!  I some how didn’t get a shot of me on it though, soon!

I haven’t done HoS much, I think only once on regular and once on Heroic.  I was on Skype with Inien and he has done it lots so I was getting info from him.  We went up the mining side first and managed to meet the elder quickly.  When we got to the boss over here it went sort of ok but at the very end I got shattered and died, the Hunter died as well.  The boomkin picked up healing and they managed to finish him off though!

She was no problem at all of course but the fight is funny because she is rather insulting through out the whole fight

We wiped on the first attempt of the archive, but the second attempt not only did we succeed, but we go the achievement!  With both the DK and Pally grabbing the mobs none got through.  I really like the lore that comes out in this fight.  I managed to get some new shoulders finally here too!  I can’t recall but I think the CoS ones were better but these were still nice.  I need to get in with the giants though so I can have shoulder enchants.

So up to this point we had only 3 wipes, 1 my fault entirely, and 2 deaths (1 mine) which is amazing   These people were not over geared, we were not doing amazing DPS but they knew their classes.  We started the end boss though of this instance and we did have some issues with him.  I dislike this fight so much now!  We got him down on the third try though, basically I realized looking at the combat log it was all nature damage, and had the hunter use his nature resists.  Then the  fight went easy to the end when I lost everyone but the hunter and I but my dots finished him off.  He didn’t drop exactly the trinket I wanted but he did drop the Spark of Life which both me and the Boomkin rolled on.  I figured it might come in handy.

So I managed to do 4 instances, both instance dailies, get a new trinket and shoulders, and make my Flying Carpet.  Yes I would call this a good night!
